in reply to How to look for application path
I have found the problem in the meantime. When you have a (Default) value in the registry you cannot use the "()". You just have to say Default and then it works fine. Of course any better suggestion to get easy installation paths of applications (version independent - adobe 4,5 / office 95,97,..) then using the registry is welcome.
